This was a heartbreaking story but also full of hope. It was slow-paced but kept me interested the whole time. I wish there was a bit less jumping around because that left me feeling a bit disconnected from the characters and feeling like I understood them. Otherwise it was a book that gave me a lot of think about and a lot to feel about.
